My attempt....

at keeping the babies away from the tree. Off to the store to get some corner protectors for the end table. Let's see if it works.

Make sure your volume is turned up.

First tooth

Brannon gathering

Gathered at Charlie and Nan's house to celebrate October birthdays while Patti and Bill were in town from Georgia.

We were all surprised to see Tim who has been living in Hollywood and not able to join us for the last few years.

Bella provided the entertainment for the night. We all just sat and watched her.

Brannon tradition...family photo.

and a crazy one.

Wanted it to look like this....

had to settle for this.

Not exactly what I wanted but, I like it!

Yucky!

Not really liking the bananas.

On the move

Came back from fall break and everyone is on the move. The twins are 7 months now and Bella is 6 months.

While filming the crawling video, I looked over at Ryan and he was pulling himself up onto the couch for the first time.

Beach Photo Shoot

Fall Break 2011

We spent our fall break in Carlsbad on a much needed get-a-way. Our home...Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort (thanks to Susie). The more I stay here, the more I want to buy a week.

Days were spent hanging out at the beach.

Bella took 2 hour naps on the beach.

Pictures, lots of pictures!

Nights were spent playing games and going for walks through the town.

Oh, and posting pics on facebook.
